NOVITATES OCCIDENTALES. 121 
Linanthus luteolus. Very diffusely branching, 3 to 6 
inches high, rather roughly hirsute-pubescent throughout, 
the leaves and leaf-like organs all destitute of any special 
marginal ciliation: mature calyx 5-parted almost to the base, 
perhaps when young less deeply cleft and with narrow 
scarious spaces below the sinuses: corolla yellow, with very 
slender tube, no throat, and a rotate limb about 4 inch 
broad. 
Cuyamaca Mountains in southern California, G. R. Vasey, 
June, 1880, and in Lower California, Mr. Orcutt, 1889. 
All the foregoing new Linanthus species are of the Lep- 
tosiphon subgenus. 
’ Sisyrinchium sarmentosum, Suksdorf in herb. Stem 
and leaves very slender, apparently ascending, 6 to 10 inches 
high: spathes very unequal, far exceeding the few pedicels: 
ovary and perianth delicately puberulent, the latter light 
blue, small, the segments all abruptly but slenderly acumi- 
nate: seeds very small, broadly pyriform, delicately but 
very regularly sinuate-rugose. 
Borders of wet meadows in Skamania Co., Washington, 
at altitudes of 2,000 or 3,000 feet, August, distributed by Mr. 
Suksdorf under the above name, the fitness of which does 
not appear from the specimens, though the stems are said 
to be “sometimes rooting at the nodes.” The species is an 
excellent one; the segments of the perianth not being in 
any degree notched at the apex, or even truncated, but 
simply acuminate.
